The kids have completed two weeks of school now, and here's their first day of school pictures.
Laine and Mead go to school every morning - all-day school for both of them.
Mead is in first grade.
Laine is in third grade.
Cole goes every afternoon to Junior Kindergarten. He was unburdened by a backpack this first morning when I took everyone's pictures!
There was a fun welcome sign at the front entrance to the school this year.
Laine has a new teacher this year, Miss Ballard, whom she is absolutely loving.
She's got her own cubby to put all her stuff in.
Mead has Mrs. Nichols, and she is so excited about the new reading loft in her room. I'll try and get a picture of it for another post.
We've had both Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. Byars (below) before for our girls, and they are probably our favorite teachers at the school. So excited for a good school year for all our kids!
After waiting all morning at home, Cole finally got to come to school. He's loved going every day - and he doesn't seem to mind missing his nap too much either!
Random, but on the way home from dropping Cole off that first day, Penny, a couple teachers, and I helped catch this injured baby hawk, which was sitting in our front yard. The teachers took it to the local bird sanctuary, and the people at the bird sanctuary were able to help it recover from a broken "collar" bone (not sure of the official name). Always something interesting going on around the school!
